Tammi's birthday :]
I tied a tie!
Dress up
Coconuts!
Today was the most interesting day that I've had by far. It started off with early morning staff worship where I talked about my foot experience and how I received money just in time to pay for my medication. Everyone liked it and it was pretty good. All morning classes went well, I gave my kids free time, and everyone listened, sat in their desks, and got stickers! After lunch, the classes went well up until recess at 1 o'clock. When we got out there, I saw a commotion going on by the 6th grade classroom. 3rd grade was at recess too so Austin was out talking to some girls on the ground. When I walked up, I saw two 6th graders crying hysterically. They were in a straight panic and would not calm down or breathe. I finally sat down and talked to them and they told me what was wrong. Apparently as they were walking down to the bathroom, they heard a little girl calling their names. She was screaming for help and they went down to the basement to try to help her. They said that it got louder and louder but when they got down there it was locked. The administrators checked and it had been locked all day. There was no one down there and no one could hear anything, even though the girls kept hearing it. I took them to the office to talk to the principal and calm down and they told me that this isn't the first time that happened. They told me that no one ever believes them, but they see dead people sometimes. One told me that she sees a girl with straight black hair with a chopped up face at her window at night. She told me that the girl talks to her and calls her name and she tries to ignore her because no one ever believes her when she tells them. The other girl told me that she has seen people outside her window at night and sometimes they scream but she doesn't know what to do. I was so sad for them because even though no one else in the school believes them, I do. None of the teachers or other SM's think that they heard anything or saw anything, but I'm sure that was real fear and it really happened, at least in their mind. I'm not sure if they have some kind of disorder or there are really demonic forces at play, but I told them that what we needed to do was pray. I knelt down with them on the office floor and we prayed for safety and God's presence. After that they calmed down and stopped crying. Of course, I had to go back to 2nd grade and tell them the whole story. Of course, I told them that the girls were scared by another kid screaming "rawr" and jumping out from behind a tree. Needless to say, the kids asked hundreds of questions and I ended up giving them recess the rest of the day. It was a really weird experience because I truly do believe in demonic forces in the world. I was the one who had to go check the bathroom for the "little girl" and I'm not going to lie, I was scared! But of course, singing bible songs helped :]
Praying for you!
